Why Do Women Undergo Breast Augmentation?

Undergoing an Augmentation Mammoplasty is a very personal choice for a woman. One woman’s thinking could be entirely different from another woman’s.

But generally, the following are some of the major reasons why women undergo breast augmentation:

1. To increase the fullness of their breasts.

2. To get a symmetrical look (in case one of the breasts is smaller or more elongated than the other).

3. To regain size and fullness of their pre-pregnancy breast shape after baby-birth.

4. To improve the aesthetic balance between their breasts and hips.

5. To increase their self-confidence and beauty.

What is Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Breast Augmentation or Augmentation Mammoplasty is a surgical procedure performed on a patient to increase the size of her breasts. In common terms, breast augmentation is also referred to as “Boob Job” or “Breast Enlargement Surgery”.

Under an Augmentation Mammoplasty, the plastic surgeon will increase the size of the breasts by using saline/silicone implants inside a patient’s breasts.

What Are The Different Types Of Breast Implants?

Thanks to advancement in medical science and technology, new patients have the option of choosing which type of breast implant they want for their procedure. Each implant has different advantages and different costs. Depending on your budget and your ultimate objective the Cosmetic Surgeon will choose the right fit for you.

Saline Implant- Saline implants are filled with sterile salt-water. They provide a uniform shape and size to the breasts. They are approved by leading global medical bodies such as USA’s FDA and the IMA for breast augmentation procedure. Structured Saline Implant – These implants are an upgraded version of the normal saline implants. They contain the same sterile salt-water, but additionally, they have a more well-defined internal structure. Smooth Silicone Implant – Silicone breast implants are one of the most popular choices of implants when it comes to breast augmentation. The silicone gel has a smooth surface that is more in line with the natural breast tissue. Hence, the look and feel of these implants is better than the saline implants. This structure makes the implant blend in more naturally with the breasts.

Textured Silicone Implant – Again, much like the structured saline implants, textured silicone implants are an upgraded version of the normal silicone implants. They are either micro textured or nano textured which makes breasts appear fuller and rounder. Textured implants are made up of cohesive gel which do not leak or flow out of the shell.

Breast Augmentation by Fat Grafting

Breast augmentation by fat grafting is a 2-step procedure consisting of fat harvesting and fat injection. The cosmetic surgeon transfers fat from other parts of your body to your breasts. This gives the breast a more natural look and feel. This option works well for women who want a moderate increase in their breast size. Patients who want a bigger increase in their breast size need two sessions of fat grafting
